Data Center Neighbor

Reference

Sources

Every number on this site comes from something. Here is all of it in one place, plus an honest list of what we couldn’t confirm.

What “not verified” means here

Three different things get marked. A source we read at search-synthesis level rather than loading directly. A source we loaded but whose underlying study we didn’t trace. And a claim where the primary record was unreachable when we checked.

In all three cases the claim still appears on the site, because leaving it out would be its own kind of distortion. It appears with a Reported, not verified label attached, so you know what you’re looking at.

Open items

Things we know are missing or unconfirmed, as of August 12, 2026:

  1. Carroll News-Democrat / Madison Courier (Paxton Media Group). Record and link the direct URL for the July 23, 2026 DECA article.
  2. Carroll News-Democrat / Madison Courier (Paxton Media Group). Pull the Kentucky Attorney General opinion itself and link it, rather than relying on a news summary with no recorded URL.
  3. WKYT (Lexington). Record and link the direct WKYT article URL, and get a readable copy of the signed order.
  4. WUKY (public radio, Lexington). Record and link the direct WUKY article URL for the Stivers criticism.
  5. Commonwealth of Kentucky. Re-check governor.ky.gov and the Secretary of State executive order registry, then either confirm the order number 2026-494 against the signed order or remove the number from the site.
  6. Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). Trace each decibel figure back to the study or news report EESI credits it to, and cite that instead.
  7. Congressional Research Service. Read CRS R48646 directly and re-check every water figure against it.
  8. George Mason University, Schar School of Policy and Government. Load the GMU release and the underlying study, then restate the finding precisely.
  9. Bisnow. Load the Bisnow piece directly and identify each study it summarizes, including the University of Rochester work and the second George Mason study that reaches the opposite conclusion.
  10. Kittelson & Associates. Load the Kittelson piece directly or replace it with a public agency traffic guidance document.
  11. Carroll County zoning status. Find a second, independent outlet, or confirm directly with the county planning office. The claim currently rests on two articles from one media company.
  12. Carroll County population. Verify the current five-year American Community Survey figure, which determines which tax exemption tier a project falls in.
  13. Indianapolis moratorium. Our sources covered it only at committee stage, with a full council vote scheduled for August 10, 2026. Not currently cited on the site for that reason.
  14. Louisville moratorium. The mayor called for one on August 4, 2026. We haven’t loaded that story directly, so it isn’t cited.

How advocacy and industry sources are handled

They get used, and they get labeled. When a claim comes from a group that advocates for a position, from an industry trade group, or from a developer, the label sits next to the claim, not buried in a footnote. Developer-commissioned job and revenue projections say “developer-commissioned” every single time they appear.
